TapInko - Buy Advertising, Sell Advertising; newspapers, magazines, billboards, and all media outlets. Print, Audio or Video

ABOUT US

TapInko aims to become the universal directory and transaction tool for buyers and sellers of advertising. Normally, the process of completing one advertising sales transaction, for one location, for one client could take days or weeks to negotiate and complete. With TapInko, the cumbersome process can now be completed in under 10 minutes, and we give you the tools to keep track of every aspect of the sale. Online advertising has benefited from an innovation surge and TapInko provides the same leverage to traditional and alternative media.

TapInko's platform is the key to the marketplace as it provides media owners with improved sales and sales tracking software. Currently, many of these functions exist individually within various desktop software applications, but TapInko brings them together in one robust, advertising focused, fully functional website. Greater functionality is under development for after the beta period. The future platform also gives buyers unlimited access to an all-inclusive directory to create unique and comprehensive advertising campaigns. These tools increase the transactional efficiency of advertising with any outlet, publication or display, by allowing advertisers to search for opportunities by sophisticated audience or medium criteria; demographic, location, media type, impressions, etc..

Please keep an eye on TapInko as we continue through this Beta period and continuously expand and build upon our ever-growing platform.
